c. II. AUSTIN g. SON.
A Large and Increasing Business.

In our brief mention of the wholesale
firms of the city in Tuesday evenings
paper, the firm of G. II. Austin & Son,
iobbers in boots and shoes was inadvert-
emily omitted. The firms increasing
business has made it necessary for them
to erect fine two-story and basement
brick building at the old stand 4l8 and
42O Front street, to be completed June
list. This building will be used for
wholesale purposes solely, the retail
department remaining as at present. A
look through the well selected stock of
the firm convinces one of the large BUSH
ness being done by them, and with the
increased facilities for handling their
extensive business, the future prospects
for the doubling Of their jobbing trade
are good.

THE EVANSVILLE FIRE.

Our neighboring village of GAINESVILLE
was visited last night by a terrible con-
flagration which destroyed the better
half of the buildings on the main bust
ness street. We learn from Mr.. Sam
Pond, who was at GAINESVILLE last night,
that the fire started in the hotel barn,
spreading rapidly to the hotel and nd
joining buildings. From the hotel to
the Northwestern depot all buildings on
both sides of the street were destroyed,
including the bank, postoffice, Argus of
flee, and other principal business houses.
The fire broke ont about nine o'clock,
with good wind blowing. The fire pro-
lection of the village is furnished by the
water works, but for some reason il
failed to supply the needs last night and
nothing could be done to stop the prog

leight insurance was carried by most OF
